Summary "The Three Black Pennys: A Novel" by Joseph Hergesheimer is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Howat Penny, a young man grappling with his identity and place within his family and society, amid a backdrop of ironmaking and the rich landscapes of early America. The novel delves into themes of individuality versus social expectations, personal freedom, and the relationships that complicate one's sense of self. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Howat Penny as he navigates his surroundings in a restless state of mind, contemplating his life at Myrtle Forge and the various social dynamics present there. He feels discontent with the formalities of his family’s world and is drawn more to the wild and untamed aspects of nature. His encounter with Fanny Gilkan, the daughter of a founderman, introduces romantic tension and offers a glimpse into Howat's complex feelings about relationships and commitment. As he struggles with his emotions and societal expectations, his interactions with characters like Fanny and Mrs. Winscombe highlight his inner turmoil, further setting the stage for the exploration of deeper themes throughout the novel.
